hCard Examples in the wild

This page is an informative section of the hCards specification.

The following sites have published hCards, and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If people or organizations on your site are marked up with hCard (even just your own contact information), feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL to a page on your site that includes actual hCard markup. Examples added without a URL to a page with hCard markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an hCard? Use the hCard creator to write up some contact information and publish it, or follow the hCard authoring tips to add hCard markup to your current contact page.

New Examples

Please add new examples to the top of this section.

Examples

UTF8 Examples

These examples all contain one or more characters in UTF8 that are outside the ASCII7 range and make for excellent test cases to make sure you are handling UTF8 properly throughout your hCard parsing and transforming. And especially if you are generating vCards, these test cases will help you make sure you are generating UTF8 vCards in such a way that can be recognized by UTF8 supporting vCard applications.

Examples with some problems

Entries may be moved here if there's a problem with the way hCards are used on the page concerned. If the page is yours, and you want to improve it, see the hCard FAQ, or raise any queries on hCard Issues or the mailing list, where people will be happy to help you.
